Although the enamel that covers the tooth crown is hard and resistant material, teeth can be broken (cracked or chipped tooth) or fissured (tooth fissure). What types of broken teeth are there? 00:00 Introduction: In this 3D animation of Clínica Médico Dental Pardiñas (http://j.mp/cPardinas) different types of dental fractures and tooth cracks are shown. 00:06 What are dental fractures and fissures? Fractures and tooth cracks can occur in different parts of the tooth and can affect its survival. A dental fissure is a cracking in the tooth where there is no detachment of the tooth structure.

On many occasions tooth cracks are microscopic and can go unnoticed with the naked eye or on X-rays. Normally the fissure does not break the affected tooth, which appears healthy, but causes acute pain when eating or drinking cold things and when chewing. What is the treatment of dental fractures and cracked tooth? Depending on the type of fracture, it can have several treatments, from a reconstruction, a root canal or even the extraction of the tooth. It is important to detect the tooth cracks in time, since if they are not treated they can cause a fracture of the tooth. If a fracture affects only the crown of the tooth, it could be treated with a reconstruction and / or endodontics. If the fracture affects the crown and root, the treatment will usually be tooth extraction. How can chipped tooth and fissured be prevented? To prevent them, it is advisable to follow a series of guidelines: Use mouth guards in case of contact sports. In the case of bruxism or teeth grinding, the use of a night splint can minimize the risk of suffering a fracture or tooth crack. It would be advisable to treat the cause of bruxism. Avoid biting hard things like ice, corn, bones etc. Avoid opening packaging or cutting things with your teeth. Use scissors.
